Who DON'T you want? The HATE thread!

[Granath]

This should be fun.

Take a look at the semi-reasonable draft picks and proposed trades (Noel for #3 is not reasonable) and which single one do you not want? Okafor? Butler? Cousins? Jaylen Brown? Bender? Who is the one guy that if we get on draft night you'll throw a shoe at the TV and why? Is it because Okafor's advanced metrics? Is it because there's so little game tape on Bender? Hield's age? Murray's athletics? Cousins' attitude?

My choice is...

Who: Jimmy Butler.

Why: It has nothing to do with Butler's game. I think he's a fine player. It has nothing to do with his attitude. I like that too. It has most everything to do with the price. The common trade idea is Butler for #3 plus Bradley (often plus other 1st round picks too). Except Butler isn't a massive, team-changing upgrade over Bradley - at least not worth the #3 (plus rumored other picks) and the additional cap room. I worry about him causing the lane to get clogged for IT. I worry about his long-term durability. I think for what he is likely to cost we can spend those assets elsewhere on a bigger position of need to get a better incremental upgrade in the front court. Now if we got him cheaper I'd be a happy chap. But if not...here's the SHOE!

If we add FA's to this conversation my pick would be Sully.

My hate is going to go to Al Hordford. Not a max player not a guy that puts C's over the top.

Darn that is a good one missed that. Sully #1 hate

I dont want Okafor for anything that loses our 3rd pick to them. I do not wish to help the Sixers in any form.

The fact they are abandoning ship on the good ship Okafor after one year and all of the off the court altercations makes me very uneasy on many levels. I would love to have his offense but not at the cost of building a culture that helps to attract the right kind of athletes. I am not willing to gamble that Okafor will suddenly mature, especially since the Sixers are clearly not willing to invest anymore in him as well.

Agree with this. But the player I really don't want is Okafor. I just can't see how he fits on this team at all. He seems like the opposite of everything we need.

Lebron. I don't hate Lebron but i genuinally don't like what he stands for.  His sour grapes stuff even when winning is just sad to me.  I don't like that mindset in general of showing up the haters.  A lot of the time it's just ignorance on his part.

The contrast between this and Lebron post game is absurd. Theyve also had similar numbers of haters. Its all we with tom and the only I stuff he talks about is how he made mistakes.

Hate
Bad - Murray - no defense
Worse Brown - no ofense, no BBIQ
Worst Chriss - too raw


No Valentine either, Bad wheels and makes Jamal Murray look like AB on defense.

No Okafor either unless there's more consideration coming.

Edit - No B arnes either.

Don't want Harrison Barnes, don't want Sullinger back, very reluctant on Al Horford (but we need a Center like BAD), and don't want Dragan Bender.

Great Call on Barnes. I'll add him to my list also.

Hate: Sully/Barnes/Ezeli.

[jpotter33]

FA - Barnes (too expensive), Sully (too fat), Zeller (too sucky), Whiteside (perfect candidate to totally loaf once he gets a big contract)

Draft - probably Murray. He looks like a Kevin Martin, no-defense type. I like Hield, but I think his ceiling isn't all that high. I only want Dunn if we're going to trade him.

Trades - I'm like 49/51 on Okafor. I'd much prefer Noel with a follow up trade for someone like Love at the 4.

It would be one thing if it wasn't ignorance on lebron's part.  I genuinally think he means harm with it. You can see it in his smile.  Muhammed Ali or KG never gave me that feeling. I rooted for those guys.  LEbron to me is taking it too far where it's about using people for his own success who aren't like he thinks.

The guy just won a championship.   I'm happy for him.  Enjoy it. I just don't understand the sour grapes and his fans who trash and bully people themselves.

What a fool.  Bill Russell even has had words about Lebron.
